Inspiration, Paint, Wall Treatments, Color
Last fall I had the pleasure of visiting the Ruthmere House in Elkhart, IN. I couldn’t get past the gorgeous ceiling in the foyer. I snapped the photo you see with my cell phone, but in person the ceiling is absolutely stunning. The colors and design are historically accurate to 1910.
Detail of a painted ceiling design. The colors are gorgeous!
I would love to paint something like this on our dining room ceiling.

We were recently at a restaurant and I fell in love with this wall! I love the color, texture and large faded text.
The vintage industrial lights are perfect with the wall.
I can’t quite see this look in my bungalow…but the wall color and industrial lights are amazing.

Sherwin Williams paint and design services advertisement from around 1910
The above Sherwin Williams advertisement was accompanied by the following text:
“This dining-room illustration demonstrates that very dignified and attractive effects can be obtained without over-decoration. Even with its attractive wall effects, beamed ceiling and fine furniture, the general effect is simple.”

Sorry. No data so far.
